Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 10.3 Function Test with UMB-ConfigTool.NET The functions of the Smart Weather Sensor can be tested with UMB-ConfigTool.NET by polling various channels. Note: All other devices which are used in the polling process, e.g. modems, LCOM etc., must be disconnected from the UMB network during configuration. 10.3.1 Channels for Measurement Polling You can select the channel for measurement polling by UMB-ConfigTool.NET by clicking on the respective channel.
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 10.4 Operating Modes of the Smart Weather Sensor The power consumption of the Smart Weather Sensor can be adjusted to the properties of the individual installation by setting the operation mode. The operation of the power save modes however has certain constraints. These have to be considered when designing the installation.
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 10.4.2 Power Saving Mode 2 Power saving mode 2 permits another relevant reduction of the power consumption, but adds on the other hand more severe restrictions. In this operation mode the device will be almost completely switched off and will wake up only by the data request for one measurement cycle. During measurement and data transmission the device will be switched on for about 10 – 15 sec.
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 10.5 Operating Modes for Equipment Heating Heating is configured to ‘Automatic’ when the product is delivered. This is the recommended operating mode for heating the sensor.
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 10.5.4 Eco-Mode 1 Eco Mode1 is an advanced energy saving mode. Heating is only switched on when the following conditions are met: • The outside temperature is below the threshold temperature and precipitation was detected. Heating then runs at the control temperature for 30 minutes (after the last precipitation event).
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 11 Firmware Update To keep the sensor in accordance with the latest state-of-the-art, it is possible to carry out a firmware update on site with no need to remove the sensor and return it to the manufacturer. The firmware update is carried out with ConfigTool.NET. The description of the firmware update can be found in ConfigTool.NET Help pages (Ch. Workspaces) Please download the latest firmware and ConfigTool.NET from our website www.lufft.
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 12.1 Maintenance of the Rain Gauge The function of the rain gauge will be significantly influenced by pollution of the funnel or the tipping bucket mechanism. Regular check and, if necessary, cleaning is required. The maintenance interval depends very much on local conditions and also on seasons (leaves, pollen, etc.) and therefore cannot be exactly defined here (it may be in the range of weeks).

Text-based communication with devices is possible using ASCII protocol. To do this, in the device configuration, interface settings, the protocol mode must be set to ASCII (see page 36).
Operating Instructions Smart Weather Sensor 19.4.4 Standardization of Measurement Values in ASCII Protocol The standardization of measurement values from 0d – 65520d corresponds to the measuring range of the respective measurement variable. Measurement Variable Measuring Range Min Max Unit -50.0 60.0 °C -58.0 140.0 °F -40.0 80.0 °C -40.0 176.0 °F -60.0 70.0 °C -76.0 158.0 °F 0.0 100.0 % 0.0 1000.0 g/m³ g/kg -100.0 1000.0 kJ/kg 300.0 1200.0 hPa 0.0 3.
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 19.4.5 Error Codes in the ASCII Protocol Various error codes are defined from 65521d – 65535d in addition to the standardisation for the transmission of measurement values. 65521d 65523d 65524d 65525d 65526d 65534d 65535d 86 Description Invalid Channel Value Overflow Value Underflow Error in measurement data or no valid data available Device / sensor is unable to execute valid measurement due to ambient conditions Invalid Calibration Unknown Error G.
Operating Instructions Smart Weather Sensor 19.5 Communication in Terminal Mode It is possible to communicate with a device in a very simple text-based manner using the terminal mode. To do this, in the device configuration, interface settings, the protocol mode must be set to terminal (see page 36). Note: In the case of communication in the terminal mode, only one single unit may be connected to the interface, as this protocol is NOT network-compatible.

Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 19.6 Communication in SDI-12 Mode The communication in the SDI-12 mode of the Smart Weather Sensor is conforming to the standard defined in ‚SDI-12 A Serial-Digital Interface Standard for Microprocessor-Based Sensors Version 1.3 January 12, 2009‘ . WS100-UMB also supports SDI-12 Version 1.4 beginning from firmware version v2.4. The device may be operated in bus mode together with other SDI-12 sensors, connected to one SDI master (logger). 19.6.
Operating Instructions Smart Weather Sensor When operating the device in SDI-12 mode it is basically no more possible to access the device with the UMB Config Tool, due to the different interface parameter settings. To enable configuration access nevertheless the interface is operated in standard UMB mode (19200 8N1) for the first 5 seconds(*) after reset / power on.
Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 19.6.2 Command Set For details of the SDI-12 protocol please refer to the above mentioned standard document. The commands listed in following table are available for devices of the WS family. The links in table column „details“ guide you to the description of buffer contents and additional functions. The composition of the minimal and the full basic data set depends on the variant (WS100UMB ... WS800-UMB) of the device in question (see below).

Operating Manual Smart Weather Sensor 19.6.3 Address Configuration UMB Device-ID and SDI-12 Address are connected, but the different address ranges and the fact, that UMB ID’s are integer numbers, while SDI-12 addresses are ASCII characters, have to be considered. The SDI-12 address is built from the UMB device ID as follows: UMB Device ID 1 (default) corresponds to SDI-12 Address ‘0’ (SDI-12 default). Changing the SDI12 address by SDI12 setting command also modifies the UMB device ID accordingly.
Operating Instructions Smart Weather Sensor 19.6.5 Data Messages In the interest of simplified evaluation the assignment of measurement values to data buffers ‘0’ ... ‘9’ has been defined unified for all measurement commands. For this reason the responses to C-requests have been restricted to 35 characters, not using the 75 characters permitted for these requests Currently buffers ‘0’ to ‘4’ are in use.
